New Materials Developed by Scientists Able to Move in Response to Light
Researchers developed magnetic elastomeric composites that move in different ways when exposed to light. The new development is raising the possibility that these materials could enable a wide range of products that perform simple to complex movements, from tiny engines and valves to solar arrays that bend toward the sunlight. In biology, there are many […]
LEDs Light the Way for Better Drug Therapies
A revolutionary new technique to create radioactive molecules has the potential to bring new medicines to patients much faster than before — using light. While the previous approach took months, the new photocatalytic process replaces hydrogen with tritium in just hours. Radioactivity may have a bad rap, but it plays a critical role in medical […]
